HAM E.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 291,325, dated January 1, 1884,

Application filed November 14, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRED FRAZER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of metal hames; and it consists of a hame composed of two metal pieces fitted together with a lipped joint, rivets, the

- terret, top strap loops, and a tip, as hereinafter specified and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings,inthe several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a partly-sectional elevation of my hame, Fig. 2, a cross-section on the line a; a, and Fig. 3 a cross-section on the line 3/ 1], Fig. 1, both on a larger scale; and Fig. 4,

a longitudinal section of the upper part.

The outer part, a, of my hame is of ahollow shape, of malleable or ordinary cast metal or wrought metal, and its edge b is chamfered,

- while its edge 0 is substantially flat. The lower end is provided with the usual loop, d, for the hame-fastening, and its upper end, 6,

is reduced and shouldered to receive the top finish-say a tip-knob, f. The inner part, g,

of the hame is of similar material, and has the rabbeted edge It, to fit the edge I) of part a, to make a close andsecure joint therewith, and its lower end, 41, is thinned ofi" to make a neat finish with the part a, to which it is secured by a rivet, j, while its upper end, k, is shoul- 5 dered to form the seat for the knob f, and said knob or tip is socketed to fit over and contain the shouldered ends of the two parts of the hame, and is held thereon and holds together the said parts by a pin or rivet, Z, driven 0 through holes therein. The edge of part next the edge a of parta, is flat to register therewith. The tug-loop m is riveted in the parts a g, as indicated at the broken-away part in Fig. 1. The rein-terret n is secured in place by the eyes 0 0, the shanks of which pass through holes in the two parts a g, and are riveted or clinched on the outside of part 9 in countersunk holes, and serve additionally to hold the parts together. and the top strap loop, p, is similarly affixed with similar results.

The joint of the two parts may be merged into a V shape as the parts run to their upper ends, substantially as indicated in Fig. 3, without impairing its efficiency.

By my construction of hame I am enabled to effect a considerable economy in production, and obtain a hame of great strength, durability, quite light, and capable of very ornamental finish.

What I claim is' 1. A hollow metal hame composed of two sections fitted together by an overlapping joint and the auxiliary fastenings, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the hame-sections a g, of the lap-jointed edges 12 h, the rivet j, for securing their lower ends, and the knob or tip f, for securing their upper ends, substantially as shown and described.

.3. The combination, with the hame-sections a 9, having overlapped edges b h and end fastenings, of the terret and top strap loop fastenings, and tug-loop passed through both said sections and aiding in securing them to- 75 gether, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

FRED FRAZER.
